LYNX-DEV Lynx 2.7.1(f) Bug Report

[David Rin]

Dear Sir,

A few days ago I FTPed the Lynx271f.zip and installed a sun4 executable
on my server, recently I noted that there seems a bug in this version of
Lynx, which has never occured in the previous version, 2.7.

Here is the detail:

When I try to find a particular string, by pressing "/" key, in the currently
displayed page, sometimes the matched strings are displayed incorrectly. In
distance, try to find "rar2" in a directory list which contains a file named
"rar202.exe", then the found filename will be displayed as "r202.exe" instead
of "rar202.exe".

I assume that the bug is caused by the "r2" substring, however I cannot ensure
this is a bug of Lynx 271f, since some other programs behaves strange on my
terminal screen as well, perhaps the this problem is caused by a system library
file such as curse?? Appreciate if you can give me some clue. Thanks,

And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

David
